hire a temporary full-time Journalist for our Regina
newsroom for a six (6) month term. Postmedia News is introducing a quartet of
freshly designed information products – mobile, web, tablet and print – each
with a unique voice and differentiated content that plays to the strengths of
each platform. We’re looking for an energetic, ideas-infused jou

the capacity to be a key contributor to all four. We’ll also be looking to

distribution of the journalism created by your Leader-Post colleagues.

excellent news judgment and communications skills, we’re looking for a

    newspaper will be a definite asset.
  • The
    ability to comfortably and productively work in a team environment, but
    who’s able to get it done on their own when required. We’ll especially
    value your ability to cultivate sources and independently develop and
    execute coverage plans.
  • A
    capacity to exercise sound journalistic judgment while crafting
    compelling content on tight deadlines.
  • An
    enthusiastic work ethic, proactive approach and the ability to embrace
    and adapt quickly to change.

    ability with the full suite of modern journalistic tools, including
    software used to produce multi-media content, relevant internet
    technologies and content management systems. Experience and demonstrable
    skill with Adobe InDesign will be a definite benefit.
  • Demonstrable
    experience in developing and managing audiences using social networks
    such as Facebook and Twitter. You’ll be skilled at leveraging social
    media sites’ content-creation tools in support of our journalistic
    objectives.
  • A
    willingness to work evenings.
  • A
    driver’s licence is required, as is access to a reliable vehicle.
If you have other
talents that make you particularly effective as a multi-platform journalist,
be sure to tell us about them, too.
